水下航行体通气超空泡减阻特性实验研究

为了研究超空泡的减阻效果,保证在较低流速下生成超空泡,在水洞中开展了水下航行体通气超空泡的实验研究.采用通气的方法在较低水速下生成人工通气超空泡,通过改变通气率和弗劳德数,获得了不同条件下通气空泡的长度,以及不同空泡长度下的模型阻力系数.研究表明,来流速度不变时,空泡长度随通气率的增加而增加,阻力系数随空泡长度的增加先递增后递减;空化器直径对阻力系数的影响较大,在大弗劳德数条件下,阻力系数会因空化器直径过大而出现随通气量的增加而变大的趋势.利用商用软件对超空泡形态及阻力系数作了数值仿真,并与实验结果作了对比,两者符合较好.     

重力场中超空泡形态的数值仿真研究

根据Logvinovich独立膨胀原理,发展了一种用于计算在重力场中定常和非定常自然和通气超空泡形态的计算方法,运用该方法对重力场中超空泡形态进行数值仿真.结果表明,在重力作用下超空泡不再是对称的椭球体,自然超空泡和通气超空泡在非定常扰动下的形态特性和动力特性存在较大差异,当流场压力线性变化时,自然超空泡的空泡数呈线性变化,但长度呈非线性变化,而通气超空泡的空泡数和空泡长度都呈非线性变化.     

空化器几何参数对通气超空泡生成影响的实验研究

为了探索通气超空泡的生成机理和获取形态可控有效减阻的超空泡,文章利用中速可持续通气空泡水洞进行了空化器和通气联合生成超空泡的实验研究.详细分析了通气超空泡的生成和发展过程;给出了空化器直径、空化器线形对通气系数门限值和通气超空泡形态的影响.研究表明,在相同条件下,较大直径空化器模型形成通气超空泡需要的通气系数门限值较低,相应的超空泡尺寸也较大;平头倒角形和圆盘形空化器比圆锥形的形成通气超空泡需要的通气系数门限值低,相同条件下前者形成的超空泡尺寸也较后者大;对于圆锥形空化器,锥角较小的不易形成通气超空泡.文中实验研究结果为水下航行体的空化器合理设计提供了重要的参考依据.

航行体锥段线型对自然空泡特性影响的数值模拟

针对多种不同锥段线型的航行体,对其自然空泡形态及减阻特性进行了数值模拟研究.得到了各条件下空泡形态随空化数的变化关系、拟合曲线,以及阻力系数随空泡长度的变化关系.通过对比分析,得出了航行体锥段线型对空泡形态及减阻特性的影响规律.结果表明,锥段线型对空泡形态影响不明显;当空泡闭合于航行体锥段时,锥段线型为圆弧的模型阻力系数较小;而当空泡闭合于航行体柱段或形成超空泡时,各模型阻力系数趋于一致,几乎不受锥段线型影响.     

转弯运动通气超空泡形态及流场结构数值研究

超空泡航行体机动过程中空泡形态的预测是目前该领域亟待研究的问题。文章在两流体多相流模型的框架内建立了用于求解通气超空泡流转弯机动的三维数值模型。通过求解RANS方程和SST(Shear Stress Transport)湍流方程,预测了圆盘空化器转弯机动条件下生成的通气空泡形态,并同Logvinovich独立膨胀原理的计算结果进行对比,验证了文中数值模型的有效性。在此基础上,分析了转弯半径对通气空泡的形态尺度的影响,对比研究了不同弗鲁德数条件下通气空泡的流场结构。

基于均匀多相流假设,建立了水下射弹自然超空化流动的多相流CFD模型,分析了带圆锥和圆盘空化器头部2种高速射弹模型所产生的超空泡形态特性.仿真结果表明,圆盘头形空化器有利于射弹超空泡的形成;超空泡的相对直径与相对长度随空化数增加而减小;空化数越小,超空泡的长细比越大,减阻效果也越好.最后,通过Fluent软件的自定义函数模拟了带圆盘空化器头部射弹超空泡流发展过程,得到了射弹在水下高速航行过程中超空泡形态的变化特性,研究结果为进一步研究水下高速射弹空泡流水动力特性提供了理论参考.     

空泡尾部流场特性数值模拟研究

使用商用软件FLUENT6.0,对不同的空泡形态下空泡尾部的阻力特性进行了数值模拟研究.研究表明,随着通气率的增大和空泡形态的增长,运动体尾部阻力系数逐渐减小,并且在减小至谷底后又开始回升.尾部压差阻力系数大于粘滞阻力系数,二者均随着通气率的增加而减小.并且压差阻力系数在达到最小值后开始逐渐增大,因而使得总尾部阻力系数在减小至谷底后开始回升.运动体尾部沾湿长度随着通气率的增大而减小,尾部阻力系数则随着尾部沾湿长度的增大而增大.     

超空泡回转体减阻特性研究

基于Fluent 6.0的气泡两相流模型对超空泡回转体的减阻特性进行了数值研究.内容包括:外形对阻力及超空泡形状的影响;超空泡控制;阻力系数随空泡数的变化规律;长细比对减阻率的影响.超空泡减阻机理的研究表明:超空泡不仅可以减小回转体的摩擦阻力,还可以减小回转体的压差阻力.在外形、长细比和空泡数以及工程可实现性等诸多因素中,存在着一个最佳组合,使减阻率最高.     

通气量对轴向加速过程超空泡发展规律影响的试验研究

文中研究了锥柱组合体模型在轴向约束加速运动中人工通气量对加速过程中超空泡形态的影响及其变化规律。研究表明模型在加速过程中不通气的情况下,只有锥柱结合面后尚有局部空泡,但未见超空泡形成。在通气量23.4g/s、19.0g/s、14.6g/s、9.3g/s下,均能在研究的σv范围内逐步形成超空泡。对于一定的通气量,随着模型运动速度的逐步提高,自然空化数逐步减小,空泡由短变长;由大片分段脱落不连续的空泡变成连续的空泡;由空泡长度明显的不稳定到稳定;由空泡表面不光滑到光滑;发展成空泡表面光滑透明的超空泡。超空泡随通气量的变化规律与水洞定常试验结果是一致的。     

Numerical calculation of supercavitating flows over the disk cavitator of a subsonic underwater projectile

To deal with the effect of compressible fluids on the supercavitating flow over the subsonic disk cavitator of a projectile, a finite volume method is formulated based on the ideal compressible potential theory. By using the continuity equation and Tait state equation as well as Riabouchinsky closure model, an “inverse problem” solution is presented for the supercavitating flow. According to the impenetrable condition on the surface of supercavity, a new iterative method for the supercavity shape is designed to deal with the effect of compressibility on the supercavity shape, pressure drag coefficient and density field. By this method, the very low cavitation number can be computed. The calculated results agree well with the experimental data and empirical formula. At the subsonic condition, the fluid compressibility will make supercavity length and radius increase. The supercavity expands, but remains spheroid. The effect on the first 1/3 part of supercavity is not obvious. The drag coefficient of projectile increases as the cavitation number or Mach number increases. With Mach number increasing, the compressibility is more and more significant. The compressibility must be considered as far as the accurate calculation of supercavitating flow is concerned.

关于通气空泡及其路径数值求解的挑战性问题（英文）

Ventilated cavitation has been successfully employed as ship drag reduction technology and potentially can mitigate flowinduced vibration. The obtained successes were based on solutions of design problems considered in the framework of ideal fluid theory with their following validation by towing tank tests. However, various aspects of the interaction of ventilated cavities with the viscous flows around the ship hulls remain unclear, whereas there is usually no possibility to simultaneously keep the full-scale Froude number and cavitation number in the test facilities. So, the further progress of the application of ventilated cavitation substantially depends on the ability of computational tools to predict this interaction. This paper briefly describes the state-of-the-art computation of ventilated cavitation and points out the most challenging unsolved problems that appeared in the model tests(prediction of air demand by cavities, ventilation effect on ship drag, on hydrofoil lift, and on the propagation of shock waves in cavities).
